COVID‐19 Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds – Institution Share Department of Education Federal Financial Assistance Listing #84.425F Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Finding Summary: The University’s calculated lost revenue was based on average credit hours per semester prior to COVID-19 as compared to fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. There was a formula error in the credit hours used during COVID-19 resulting in an understated amount of lost revenue from the intended methodology. Responsible Individuals: Tami Lansing, Controller Corrective Action Plan: The calculation underwent a review, yet the error eluded detection during the review. In any future COVID-19 lost revenue calculations, we will exercise more detailed scrutiny. The University was constrained by a predetermined threshold for lost revenue, and we had already surpassed that limit. The miscalculation, had it not been overlooked, would have only inflated that amount. It is important to note that the University intentionally approached lost revenue calculations with a conservative basis. Anticipated Completion Date: August 10, 2023

FINDINGS—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY U.S. Department of Education 2023-002 Student Financial Assistance Cluster: Assistance Listing No. 84.007, 84.063, 84.268, 84.379, 84.033 UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 Recommendation: We recommend that the University work with their third-party servicer and implement procedures to ensure that enrollment data, changes in status and effective dates within NSLDS are reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The original guidance for missing or incorrect social security number from the Clearinghouse was to reach out to the student and obtain proof of the social security number or enter the student into the system without a social security number. The student was entered without using a social security number and this issue was not resolved. The University’s Registrar’s Office has inquired about this issue and have since been provided updated guidance on how to rectify the occurrence of such. The new guidance provided has already been implemented by the Registrar’s Office. The new guidance from the National Student Clearinghouse allows for a student’s information to be entered with the social security number supplied when registering and add enrollment information. Going forward, this missing information will not preclude a student from being reported. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Chris Goodman Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Implemented 09/28/2023 If the U.S. Department of Education has questions regarding this plan, please call Beverly Santamouris at (502) 852-6272.

Context: During the audit period, the School Corporation had purchases over $25,000 from one vendor charged to the Special Education Cluster grants which requires suspension and debarment procedures. For the vendor selected for testing, there was no evidence provided to verify that the vendor was checked for suspension and debarment prior to entering into the transaction. The total amount disbursed to the vendor during the audit period was $113,921. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Management will establish and implement control procedures to ensure compliance with the grant agreement and the Procurement and Suspension and Debarment compliance requirement. This will include adding a clause to all future contracts of $25,000 or more and paid for with federal funds. We will notify our leadership team of this control to ensure compliance. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Kyle Whitelely, Director of Business and Technology, will oversee this corrective action plan. It will be implemented immediately, and the leadership team will be notified of this control measure at the next leadership meeting scheduled for March 21, 2024.

Recommendation We recommend the Department train its staff on the various aspects of financial grant management including the specific requirement of the grants for which the Department receives federal funding. We recommend that the reconciliation process over grants be well documented and closely monitored by management. We recommend the Department work closely with the FEMA to establish a going forward point for the reconciliation of grants and the Federal accounts receivable/payable balance. Management Response Corrective Action: We concur with this finding. In the last quarter of FY 2023, the Department focused on billing the U.S. government for goods and services that had already been paid for but never billed. As described in this finding, the Department reduced the deficit fund balance in grant fund 40280. More work is currently being performed to identify grants and projects that need to be billed. The Department is also working on those grants and projects already identified by completing the work needed to process federal grant billings. The completion of billing for all the old grants and projects is estimated to be completed by September 2024.

The District agrees with the finding and the recommendations of the auditors. The District has taken a number of steps to improve internal controls and will finalize a comprehensive plan for robust internal controls reinstatement by January 10, 2024. Since the arrival of new Human Resources Leadership in the fall of 2022, steps have been taken to ensure that all employee contracts are kept on file in hard copy and digital. The missing files occurred during a transition period during the hire and rehire period of spring and summer 2022, before the arrival of new leadership. At this time, the Human Resources department ensures redundancy of storage of these contracts, with both paper copies and digital copies of all signed contracts kept in secure spaces. A staff member is charged to ensure these are all filed, and the Supervisor does an internal audit to ensure safekeeping. Going forward, the Human Resources Director will conduct quarterly checks, in May, August, November, and February to ensure all files are in place.

U.S. Department of Education 2023-001: NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.063, 84.268 Condition: During testing of enrollment status reporting, we noted that a student’s correct enrollment status and effective date was not reported to NSLDS. Recommendation: The College should evaluate their procedures and policies related to reporting status changes to NSLDS and enhance as deemed necessary to ensure that accurate information is reported to NSLDS. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The College agrees with the recommendation to evaluate the procedures and policies related to reporting status changes to the Department of Education’s National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). For many years, Carroll has contracted with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for their comprehensive enrollment and graduate reporting services. They become an authorized agent, providing status updates to the NSLDS on our behalf. Carroll has begun a review, using the NSC and their resources and tools, to better understand why the student’s graduate status was not transmitted from the NSC to the NSLDS. Carroll staff will review the resources to ensure our procedures and processes meet the NSC expectations. Additionally, at the end of each term, the College will randomly select three students with status changes to verify that the reporting process to the NSLDS is accurate and timely.
